On the nice and well known Moto Cross Track of Schwedt, in the North Eastern Part of Germany, called ‘Uckermark’ at the River Oder, this year’s combined Moto Cross Team event for Side Cars (Open SCXoEN) and for Quads (QXoEN) is being celebrated.
14 Side Car Teams entered and 13 are present with 3 Sidecars in each national Team. First time a team from Australia participates in this Top Team event of World Sidecar Sport, together with the leading European Nations Netherlands, France, Belgium and the fast followers.
16 Quad Teams entered and 15 are present with as well 3 Quads in each national Team. This is the first time ever that more Quad Teams participate than Sidecar Teams! In a favorite role Netherland, Latvia, Great Britain and perhaps Germany A go to the starting grid.
In the afternoon 3 Qualifying races for both classes have been run over a distance of 20min+2 laps. Separate as Group A, B, and C. The best 2 results in Sidecar as well as in Quads count for the over all Qualifying results and so for the starting order on Sunday.
